Fair enough! Also the comment on the vid you made about the painting process being somewhat unique seemed odd. It’s actually very common practice for large scale kits to be prepainted before assembly. It’s far easier. Keep up the good work!

Basic painting? you think this is “basic” painting? Looks a fair site more that basic to me. Maybe I am not understanding what you mean by basic, but this is quite detailed. They did an awesome job blending in the ink glazes. The blue shimmers. Subtle, and really awesome if you study it. Look at the gradient of blue on the shoulder pads, and how well the color blends. You have to consider the scale too. Painting at that scale requires a lot of blending, and you have to be really consist ant with your highlighting across the entire model… Read more »

When it comes to professional paintjobs – yes, this is basic. Those effects can be replicated very, very easily with minimal fuss using an airbrush. I would recommend purchasing one.

It’s just very crisp and clean and painted neatly. That’s kinda basic to me.

Maybe this is just a taste issue, but I still think you are underestimating the demands of scale that are associated with painting something this large while having in look realistic side by side with the troopers. While the technique’s associated may be simple, mastery of the technique, with results such as the ones here – such clean artful blending and shading using both paint and ink, take considerable effort to master. And there is freehand detail, just very crisp and clean – not overdone (which befits the craftworld’s history): the shoulder pads and icon on the chest plate. As… Read more »

All said and done it looks fantastic. You spoke about playing with/against it, is it owned by a friend?

I have an airbrush, I really must try and use it. What is a good project to learn with?
